An Experimental Study on the Main Pharmacodynamic Actions of Siji Sanhuang Capsule / 中药新药与临床药理

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the main pharmacodynamic actions between Siji Sanhuang Capsules (SSC) and Siji Sanhuang Pills (SSP). Methods Antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects of SSC and its effect on the intestinal movement in normal mice and constipation mice were observed. Results SSC could relieve fever in rats induced by the fresh beer yeast and 2,4-dinitrophenol, significantly inhibit the auricular swelling induced by xylol and the increased capillary permeability caused by histamine in mice, and promote the intestinal movement in normal mice and constipation mice. In-vitro antibacterial experiments showed that SSC had an obvious bacteriostatic effect on Staphylococcus aureus,typhoid bacillus, Bacillus coli, Shigella flexneri, pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus proteus. The effects were in a dose-dependent manner and the effects of SSC were stronger than those of SSP. Conclusion SSC exerts a Strong antipyretic, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and carthartic effect.
